What do you guys buy from CVS? I always thought they were very expensive relative to a WalMart or Target? By necessity because they were smaller stores, open more hours, and thus the convenience cost is added in like buying stuff from a gas station.

These can be a real pain redeeming. Must be done at register, and often times the cashier doesn't know what to do. TIME = MONEY

You can not buy real giftcard in exchange but there is a way around. Buy an item worth bit more than your giftcard and then return it and they will give you store credit card. So you dont have to hold paper anymore.

Just got a $150 + $30

Generally, you only buy the stuff with ECB (similar to CashBack). Then use the ECBs to buy more stuff with ECBs. It's kind of a game to see how far the original purchase can go.

With ECBs, store & manufacturer coupons, & rebates, I pay very little. That $180 gift card will easily last all of my weekly visits in 2013.

You are correct, they have much higher markup than many other stores. However they have occasional sales that make it worthwhile. Bottom line is if you know prices you can do well on occasion at CVS.

Can you use these CVS eGift cards to purchase anything in the store, e.g., physical Amazon gift cards?

Ordered early morning -- missed a call from them trying to verify my order, called them back and been on hold for 10+ mins

Edit:If you get a call from 888-925-2918 pick it up since it'll be CVS trying to verify your order -- they left me a VM saying to call them back at 877-259-7078, but I hung up after being on hold for 30+ mins. Called the original 888-925-2918 number and was connected to a rep within a few mins

They just asked about the card I used, the phone number on the back of the card, how the weather was here, and if I was buying to redistribute or personal use -- told her the website shows $5 bonus for every $25 eGC so I placed the order

CVS/Cashstar takes a few hours to process these transactions. I got the purchase confirmation email right away, but had to wait 5 hours to get the actual eGC emails with a link in them to print the eGCs. It was the same last year when they had this deal going. Hope that helps.

I believe that CVS gift cards can be used to purchase prescriptions, so this would be a good money saver for anyone who fills a lot of scripts.

Ordered at 7:30. Received email confirmation of order right away.

Received both the bonus and the base card emails at 9:38. [Similar times for all my 3 orders with 3 different emails and things charged to Discover/Visa/AMEX].

I have had success purchasing Rx with these eGCs. These paper eGCs work just like your plastic GCs. If you are still not sure, check with your local CVS Pharmacy.

Finally received it this evening. Not sure what happened. I had order mine in the morning.No worries as long as it ends well.

Just ordered a few minutes ago and both base and bonus eGCs have already arrived via email.

I was having problems because I was trying to order via the iPhone. When I entered the same info on a regular browser, it went through with no problems.

Now, they don't let you redeem ECB or quarterly rewards on prescriptions, but I've never heard of gift cards being refused for prescriptions.

Why be such a dick? I have no idea why you decided to attack me, when you were the one who made a comment about letting them make a copy being a bad idea. I explained that I wasn't worried, and then you say I abuse my spouse. WTF?!?!?

And in one post you say keep any kind of completely used gift card if you have a returnable item, then later (dickishly) say they can post your used CVS gift card at the front of the store.... which one do you do Sybil?

PS sending this to you in a PM, in case you don't see it before the mods clean it out of the thread (although I argue that they should let people fight it out on their own, and let the community decide who was a dick.
